Notes on MP3 disc
About MP3
• An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1,
the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files which
have the ".mp3" extension "MP3 files".
• The unit cannot read an MP3 file which has a file
extension other than ".mp3".
• is displayed on the MP3 menu if a non-MP3 file was
included in a directory or folder.
• Noises may be heard if you play a non-MP3 file that has
the ".mp3" extension.
The restriction of playing back MP3
• This unit can recognize up to 256 including files and
folders per disc. A disc recorded with more than 256
cannot be played, including files and folders.
• The maximum allowable depth of nested folder is 50,
including files.
• The unit may not play MP3 files in the order that you
recorded them on the disc.
• The unit plays only the first session with a multi session
disc.
• The unit plays only audio tracks if a disc contains both
audio tracks and MP3 files.
• It may take over 30 seconds to read the MP3 files,
depending on the complexity of the folder tree.
The limitation of indications
• Up to 14 characters are displayed for the name of a
folder or track.
• Characters other than uppercase letters ("A" to "Z"),
numerals ("0" to "9") and underscore ("_") may not be
displayed, or may be displayed in different characters.
• The elapsed playing time on the display window may
not be correct when playing MP3 files.
• Depending on the condition of the recording equipment
or the CD-R/RW disc itself, a false folder or file which
cannot be played on this unit is displayed on TV screen.
Tips on recording MP3
• Enjoying high quality sound, we recommend to
convert to MP3 files with a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.
To playback MP3 files in the order that you recorded
1 Writing software which is capable of recording MP3
files in numerical and alphabetical order is required.
2 Include a two or three digit number at the beginning
of each file name. (e.g."01","02", ... or "001", "002", ...)
3 It's recommended that you use only the root folder
(do not create child folder under the root folder).
